The Library, Learning and Teaching Enhancement and IT have created two workshops to encourage students and staff to collaborate online.

Student Workshop

Aims:
The aim of this workshop is to introduces the concept of “working in the cloud” and to teach students the basic skills they need to create documents such as Word documents or PowerPoint presenations together in the cloud. Students could use these skills for formative and summative group work assignments. The workshop will be most effective, if it is linked to a group assignment in a module that requires students to create a document together.

Technology/Facilitators:
The Technology used in the workshop is OneDrive and Office 365, technology that is available and supported at CCCU. The workshop will be facilitated by a librarian or an IT trainer and can last between one and two hours.

Case study:
The workshop was effectively used to prepare a Year 2 Midwifery group for a group work assignments and improved their overall group work experience. Online Collaboration (LT Conference 2017 Gschwandtner) (presented at the CCCU Learning & Teching Conference 2019) by Manfred Gschwandtner
